I have a lycra skin I where under my 3 and 6.5 mm wet suits. Make them easier to put on, take off and eliminates that nasty rash at the elbow and knees. For me it is indispensable for comfort.
The problem is it stinks. After wearing a few times I put it in a solution which is supposed to eliminate odors in dive gear. Unfortunately, the suit still stinks and has the smell of the product that is supposed to eliminate odors. I tried hand washing in baby shampoo, and even washed it in the washing machine with several different laundry detergents without any effect.
I was thinking about soaking it in a baking soda solution, but I an a little nervous about what basic pH will do to the suit.
The only other thing I can think of is a flame thrower, but burning lycra stinks too.
I have no problem with my wetsuits. They never hold any smells.
Any useful suggestions would be appreciated, (be nice).
Thanks,
Flea
